Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun admits he has 3 international options

Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun is at the centre of three-way international battle.

The 17-year-old has represented England after being born in New York to Nigerian parents.

He has scored an amazing 22 goals in 23 appearances for the Gunners' academy team this season.

He told arsenal.com: "I haven't yet declared who I will commit to internationally.

"I was born in New York, so can play for the USA. My parents were born in Nigeria and I have been in England since I was two years old, so I can play for both those countries too!

"I have several youth caps playing for England and I enjoy their style of play which is similar to Arsenal's.

"I will be discussing matters with my parents and will then decide."
